About the artist

Everything I make is beautiful, but not everyone sees it…

Michiel Folkers

Michiel Folkers aka Gieler has been a graffiti artist in Amsterdam for years. These days he creates richly-textured artworks by using torn pieces of posters he finds on the streets as his canvas and applying acrylic and spray paint. His colourful pieces feature icons of the 20th century such as Sofia Loren, John Lennon and Mickey Mouse.
